]]>Krewella‘s back with a new single after a successful EP release this past Spring, and what was probably my favorite project of theirs to date: Ammunition. The sisters warm up the winter with this fun-filled, heartwarming crew anthem (no pun intended) simply titled “Team”. It’s an ode to both individual independence and your ride or dies. The concept alone is universally relatable and it’s got the catchy appeal to take off in the pop arena.

The video too brings it all to life as Yazzy and J Dawg, their nicknames on their custom Blackhawks-esque hockey jerseys, celebrate life with their own ride or dies. From the hip house party to the beach to even a yacht with their dance crew, it’s just a lot of genuine joy. The Rory Kramer aesthetic shines through, if you’re familiar with some Chainsmokers and Justin Bieber videos, and he’s joined by the Krew’s longtime manager and homie (and ours too!) Nathan Lim who makes his directorial debut.

Job well done to all parties involved. This is one team I’m going to continue to root for.

]]>You’ve seen all the Pharrell previews in recent weeks and now the full soundtrack for Hidden Figures is out. 10 tracks, 7 of which feature Pharrell, and also have contributions from Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Janelle Monáe, Lalah Hathaway and Kim Burrell.

The movie itself stars Taraji P. Henson, Monáe and Octavia Spencer. It’s a drama based off the true story of three African-American women at NASA who launch astronaut John Glenn into orbit. Eerie and sad timing with the passing of Glenn earlier today. R.I.P.

]]>Not only Dream in the previous post, but Lloyd drops the full 5-track project tonight after his collab with Lil Wayne was previewed earlier in the day. The R&B playlist is lookin’ pretty full after these past few weeks.

]]>Vic Mensa takes on one of summer’s hottest singles… but it’s not a hip hop one. It’s twenty one pilots’ “Heathens”, which is undeniably catchy… and now features bars from Vic. The Master P reference kicks off the eye-raisers. I personally grew up on Lunchables too so that reference soon after got me into it. All that said: it’s not the most natural fit with this song. Maybe I’m tired of “Heathens” but I feel like it doesn’t need rap on it.
